Technology First Peer Group- Infrustructure/Cloud

Let’s talk about security where it matters most. With the rise of private 5G networks powering everything from smart factories to autonomous logistics, the way we build secure applications—especially those involving IoT—is facing new challenges. But how are you thinking about it?

We’re dedicating this I/C session to opening up the floor:

What are the best practices you use—or think we should use—when building for security in this space?

Prompting the Conversation:

• How do you handle secure provisioning for thousands of IoT devices?
• Are there tools or frameworks that actually make this easier?
• What’s your stance on edge vs. cloud security tradeoffs?
• Ever had a 5G security wake-up call? What did you learn?
• How do you enforce or validate security during development?

Why It Matters:

Private 5G networks offer performance and control—but security isn’t baked in by default. We need shared understanding, open debates, and cross-team knowledge to get this right.
